The much-anticipated Uefa Champions League semi-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Ajax on Tuesday night did not disappoint. That was not only for the football played over the 90 minutes but for the reaction on social media.
Twitter was quick to offer its opinion and as usual some of it was brutal.
They certainly had a lot of fun thanks to the scorer of the decisive goal. Social media’s reaction to Donny van de Beek breaking the deadlock was to turn to almost namesake James van der Beek, the star of Dawson’s Creek.

The “Crying Dawson” meme from the hit 1990s show was widely shared at the expense of Spurs fans.
The James van der Beek fun did not stop there and a video of the actor dancing was also used to mark the goal, which gives Ajax the advantage going into the second leg in Amsterdam. The winner will face Liverpool or Barcelona in the final in Madrid next month.
